Writing the
introduction….

Research Introduction
A. Research Introduction:
Is the first part of
a written research
paper or the first
thing you say in an
oral presentation, or
the first thing
people see, hear or
experience about
Without an introduction it is very
difficult for the readers to figure
out what you are trying to say.
There is a need to create a
thread of idea that they will
follow through your paper or
presentation.
The introduction gives the reader
the beginning of the piece of
thread so they can follow it.
To make a good introduction
reflect on the following:
1. It is important to make
sure that your introduction
accurately reflects what you
will be saying. Write a good
outline and stick to it. Make
sure that you keep the
thread consistent throughout
the paper.
Research Introduction…….
2. Start with a couple of sentences
that introduce your topic to your
reader. Make these sentences as
interesting as you can so they will
get interested very interested in the
line of thinking you are going to
develop in your study.
3. Then state your thesis sentence,
which may be done in one or more
sentences. The length of your
introduction depends on the length
and complexity of your study.
 Research Objectives……
To formulate an easy way of your research
objectives the researcher must:
1. derive a general objective from your
research questions and transform it into an
infinitive clause.
Ex. Why is contraception a divisive issue
among Filipinos?
To determine the factors that make
contraception a divisive issue.
2. identify at least three specific objectives that
will also guide your data gathering and
analysis.
Ex. a. To define contraception and identify the
various contraception methods available in
the Phils.
 Research Objectives……
b. To compare the various perspectives of
Filipinos on contraception.
c. To explain divisiveness on the issue of
contraception among Filipinos.
• Some infinitives you can use in formulating
your research objectives.
• to present, to clarify, to identify, to
demonstrate, to determine, to discuss, to
compare, to establish, to describe, to
narrate, to explain, to analyze, to interpret,
to assess, to evaluate.
Research Scope and
Limitations…..
• Scope is the range or the
extent to which the study can
be conducted.
• Limitations are the boundaries
or restrictions to which the study
can be conducted.
• Descriptions of the study and
the respondents are also
analyzed and explained for
readers’ information including
the year, the location or the
place.
Research Theoritical Framework……….

The framework or design which serves as

the theory where the study is based.
It might come from related studies in which
similarity of the research can be identified.
The researchers analyzes and interprets
possible similarities to the current research
that is being conducted.
It is presented most often in a design form
where descriptive analysis is stated to
explain the design or the framework.
Research Conceptual Framework……

A framework or design derive from the title and

from the research itself.
Considering the INPUT----- PROCESS-----
OUTPUT
The INPUT is the independent variable in
which it can be manipulative.
The PROCESS is the methodology where data
can be collected or gathered.
The OUTPUT is the end result of the
conducted study. It is the realization of the
objectives and the expectation of the research
stated in the objective and the problem.
Statement of the Problem

The statement problem is something

that the researchers would like to find
out or would like to answer.
It is stated in an interrogative format
taken from the objectives and from the
title itself.
It also considers research hypothesis
which stated in the null format or
alternative format.
The null or alternative hypothesis is the
stated prediction of the researchers.
Research Significance of the Study……

Who will benefit from

your study
Research Definition of Terms……

Operational !
Practical Research poses questions like……

Is the topic
accessible
through different
sources
Practical Research poses questions like…….

Is my topic related to
my field of inquiry
